Installing the CIP

To install the CIP, follow this procedure (see Figure 65):

1. Verify that the router is powered down.
2. Carefully insert the rear of the CIP into the guides at the top and bottom of the CIP slot, which is located to the left of the FPC card cage.

   The components on the CIP are on the left side of the board, unlike the components of an FPC, which are on the right side. Verify that the components are on the left before inserting the CIP.

3. Slide the CIP into the chassis until it contacts the midplane.

   Be sure to slide the CIP straight within the slot to avoid damaging the connector pins on the front of the midplane.

4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screw at each end of the CIP faceplate.
5. Reattach an external management device to one of the Routing Engine ports on the CIP (AUXILIARY, CONSOLE, or ETHERNET). Also reattach alarm relay contacts if desired. For instructions, see Replacing the Management Ethernet Cable, Replacing the Console or Auxiliary Cable, and Replace Alarm Relay Wires.
6. Power on the router and verify correct startup by performing the procedures in Powering On the Router.
